Story
THE SPHINX was a female monster with the body of a lion, the head and breast of a woman, eagle's wings and, according to some, a serpent's tail.
She was sent by the gods to plague the town of Thebes as punishment for some ancient crime, preying on its youths and devouring all who failed to solve her riddle. The regent of Thebes, King Kreon (Creon), offered the throne to the one who would destroy her. Oidipous (Oedipus) took up the challenge, and when he solved the Sphinx's riddle, she cast herself off the mountainside in despair.
Sphinxes were very popular in ancient art. They were employed as sculptural gave stelae upon the tombs of men who died in youth. In archaic vase paintings they often appear amongst a procession of animals and fabulous creatures such as lions and bird-bodied sirens.
The Stone
Quartz is “the stone of all stones”. It cleans and neutralizes negative energy and radiation, and strengthens the aura. It opens, breaks down, and balances emotional blockades. In the past, flint crystals were put on wounds, burns, and other minor injuries. This way they eased the pain and facilitated the healing process. Quartz is known to awaken hidden talents and enable us to manifest them. It is especially known for its healing power which is why it is recommended to always carry a Quartz crystal. Quartz empowers other crystals. Because it is a strong neutralizer of negative energy it is also used for cleaning other crystals.
